Still Would Rather Use this Camera over iPhone

4

This camera is cute, a good size, and when it's not dark out, takes great pictures. Image Quality When it's dark outside you can't really take pictures. The stabilizer doesn't do it's job, and you get mostly blurry pics. The flash will overpower whatever you are trying to shoot, especially items up close. I gave it an 8 because when everything works the way it should, the pictures are great. I have blown up several pictures to an 8x10 print, and they come out beautiful and not grainy at all. Performance Battery life for this camera is very good. Ease of Use For me, it took a bit to figure out all the different picture settings and how to use the playback, but for my mother who is older it took her a lot longer. To be honest she still does not know how to use the camera to it's full potential. Durability I have dropped this camera and it still works fine. I have also taken it to the beach and gotten sand on it, which did not affect it's performance. Battery Life Very good. Battery lasts longer than expected. Portability I love this camera's sleek design. It easily fits in my pants pocket. It also has a nice sturdy wrist strap.

Good camera - works fast. I took this with me to Europe. I found the strap that they include with the camera to be helpful in Venice - I was able to string it around my wrist and not have to worry about it falling into the sea. The battery life was pretty good - I was constantly using it so I constantly had to recharge the battery.

Love this camer so simple and easy to use no delay when you hit the picture button and quality of pictures are amazing. Its a super lightweight camera and can easily fit in your backpocket or a small wristlet with your phone which is a great selling point for me. Also its very easy to zoom and focus on pictures.

This is a great little camera

This camera is easy to use and understand . Takes great photos and videos and helps you take a great picture even if you are not that apt at using cameras . I advise that you read the instructions upon buying this camera because there are a couple of things other than the initial camera charging that will give you a great experience when first time using this camera. Like date set up before taking your first pictures with it to make sure that they have the correct time and date.As this camera does not come pre- programmed with the correct time and date on screen.But after that you will not have to change the rime of date unless you want to. Image Quality I am no expert but I know a good picture quality when I see it .....and this camera gives it to you. Performance This camera has great performance and adjusts it's self to make sure that you take the best picture and videos possible. Ease of Use The ease of use is great and if there is something you need help with you are provided with a manual as well as a tutorial disk and a phone number for customer service Durability I would say that this camera is very durable. The screen cleans easily as well as the cameras small lens. Battery Life The battery life is tricky with this camera . I would advise paying the battery icon close attention after several uses. Portability The portability of this camera is great. It is slim and fits into a purse , pocket or bag with out taking up much space at all. It fits easily in you hand for a male or female. And the camera also comes with an attachable wrist lanyard .It comes with a small attractive carrying case that can be clipped to your belt or swung on you wrist.

A little to expensive.

This is a good camera, but I thought the price was a little bit to high. Camera was light weight and had a good design. Operating this camera seemed difficult though. It was hard to watch and shoot, clumsy for the finger positioning.

This camera is easy to use, easy to carry, and takes awesome pictures. Image Quality I get a lot of comments on my photos that I take asking if I used a expensive, professional camera. This camera really does take super nice photos. Performance Opens and shuts with a click of a button. Pretty simple! Ease of Use This camera could be used by the old and new. It's really simple. Durability I have 2 small children, and yes they have dropped it a few times. Nothing has broken off and it still works like a charm! Battery Life Only have to charge it once in a blue moon. Portability Small and fits into a nice little case.

Excellent camera with wonderful video feature

I love this camera because it is small but makes excellent pictures. The image quality is excellent for a small camera. You can slip it in your pocket and take it anywhere. I love to take it when we don't wait to haul my husband's huge camera and lenses. I also love the video feature. I have used this feature on every vacation we take. The battery life is also excellent.

it's just amazing

The first time when I used this product, I was like "Oh My God!!" The photos were clear and absolutely perfect. I am into photography and I have used many cameras to take pictures but they all end up being blur. One day my friend told me to try Canon cameras and what do you know there is a huge difference! The negative and positive lighting work together to create the scene in the picture the real thing! I have been using this camera for a year now and I plan to use it furthermore. I would definately recommend this camera to friends and those of you reading this review! There are many ups about this digital camera, but there is only one down. It can't shoot a moving picture! There are many more absolutely great things I can write about this digital camera. But I am in a hurry so bye! Oh by the way buy this camera today at your local best buy!

Well worth the higher price

I was at a Thanksgiving dinner last year and one of the guests was taking pictures with the new Canon SD900 digital camera.  He was showing how if you turn the camera, the picture readjusts to the new angle.  Also if you shake the camera, the picture still comes out clear. I took the same picture with another guests camera and the Canon.  The Canon has 10 pixels and adjusts for dark rooms.  The two pictures were very different with the Canon being clear and bright.  I don't take pictures very often, but now I always take along my camera.
